"Erlang, you are so good, why are you competing with a big tree? If you punch a few more times, the tree will be destroyed by you!" When I was full of depression and had nowhere to vent, a gentle voice suddenly came to my mind.
sound.
"Young master..." Wang Xun responded smoothly, wanting to tell the other party not to mind his own business. Suddenly he felt that the voice sounded familiar. He raised his head blankly and saw Bai Yuzhi pulling a beautiful middle-aged girl in red.
A beautiful young woman stood in front of her pretty.
"Sister Bai, why are you here?" Wang Xun felt very embarrassed immediately, smiled and greeted the other party in a low voice.
"You're still saying that!" Bai Yuzhi's maid Xiaoping was jumping off the carriage. When she heard Wang Xun's words, she immediately scolded her loudly, "Yesterday morning you didn't even say hello and turned around and left. This made Sister Bai feel guilty.
You've been worried all day. This morning, not long after midnight, the two brothers from the Qin family came to your door again. They said they couldn't find you at your house, so I asked Sister Bai if she knew you were there.
Where is it!"
"Ping'er..." Bai Yuzhi shyly turned her head and whispered to stop her.
"I've been looking for him all morning, and I'm afraid he'll know!" Xiao Ping'er frowned and put on a posture of saying she would rather be beaten than speak out, "We and the two brothers from the Qin family will look for you separately.
From early in the morning to now. If I hadn’t met Wang Xiang halfway..."
"It's my fault for making Yuzhi worry!" Before Xiao Ping'er could finish her words, Wang Xun quickly came to Bai Yuzhi's side. He didn't care about others watching, and gently pulled the other person's hand up.
hand.
He has rarely suffered any setbacks since he was a child, but in the past three days, none of the things he has encountered can be solved by his own strength. When he was feeling helpless, he suddenly heard that someone cared so much about him. His chest suddenly felt
Shocked, the eyes looking at Bai Yuzhi were already crazy.
Bai Yuzhi was so embarrassed that she shook her head hard, but she couldn't shake it off. She had no choice but to let Wang Xun hold her finger, lowered her head, and whispered: "Erlang, you haven't introduced your friend to me yet. Too much."
excuse me!"
"Ah, oh, oh!" Wang Xun woke up from his gentle home in an instant. With a look of happiness on his face, he pulled Bai Yuzhi directly in front of Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun, "Two brothers, this is mine, mine
My confidante Bai Yunzhi, she, she is currently performing at Jinhua Tower. Yuzhi, these are two good friends of mine. The one on the left is surnamed Zhang, with a single name of "Xun", and was the third flower in the Kaiyuan period. The one on the right is
The bearded man’s surname is Lei and his given name is Wanchun. He is a heroic man who travels around the world!”
Seeing Wang Xun introducing herself to his friend without hesitation, Bai Yuzhi felt happy and shy at the same time. She squatted down slightly and made a blessing, "Bai Yuzhi, the singer, has met two brothers!"
"No gifts for the first time!" "No gifts for brothers and sisters!" Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun each said half a step aside. (Note 2)
A red cloud suddenly appeared on Bai Yongzhi's face, and she looked as pretty as a flower. She glared at Wang Xun shyly, then turned around and grabbed the beautiful middle-aged woman in red who came in the same carriage with her, and smiled at her.
Everyone introduced: "This is my good sister Gongsun Lan. Her sword dance is the best in Chang'an City!"
"Aunt Gongsun?" Zhang Xun was not sensitive to the name Gongsun Lan, but Lei Wanchun immediately glared at Lao Yuan, "Haha, I, Lao Lei, are really lucky today. The first two of the four unique talents in the capital are actually
We met at the same time!”
"What are the Four Masters of the Capital? They are just friends, they are just making fun of each other. How can they get into the eyes of Xiao Zhang Tanhua and Lei Daxia!" Gongsun Lan also blushed, squatted down, and actually said a very authentic mouthful.
Wu Nong's soft words...
"You're welcome, Gongsun!" Only then did Zhang Xun vaguely guess who he had met, so he quickly took a half-step to the side and bowed in return.
Before coming to the capital to report on his work, he had heard from his friends that there were four great arts in the capital. Anyone who had been to the capital would be proud to meet with them. The so-called four great ones refer to "Li Taibai's
Poems, Zhang Xu’s calligraphy, Lei Haiqing’s pipa, and He Zhizhang’s eyes.”
Li Bai's poems are famous all over the world, and the calligraphy of Zhang Xu, the grass saint, is also hard to find. Lei Haiqing once worked with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty to arrange the clothes and feathers, and played the pipa so well that the listeners could not taste the taste of meat for several days. And He Zhizhang's eyes
It refers to the old man's keen eye for knowing people. It was because of his praise that Li Bai "relegated the immortal" to the current emperor's vision. And because he relied on his talent and arrogance, he repeatedly ridiculed Li Linfu in public for "talented but not moral", and Yang Guozhong "
"No virtue, no talent", so he is highly praised by scholars.
For the world, a trip to Chang'an and not being able to meet the "Big Four" is not a regret in life. If you miss the "Little Four" as well, then your trip to Chang'an will be in vain. The so-called "Little Four"
The "Four Wonders" are "Gongsun Gongsun's sword, Bai Yuzhi's song, Xie Feiyan's harp, and Hu Aman's waist." Among them, Hu Aman comes from the west of the Western Regions. It is said that she is a princess who lost her country, and her waist is as thin as
The song "Chunliu" dances to the sky, making countless princes and grandsons fascinated. Every year, many talented people who study in Chang'an spend all their money because they are addicted to Hu Aman's dance, and finally have to live on the streets.
And Xie Feiyan's harp sounds have a different taste. Just like the new rain in the autumn mountains, there is an indescribable emptiness and desolation beyond the lightness. Every day, there are many educated people who have never seen their talents, sitting early in the morning.
In front of Xie Feiyan's music venue. I waited from morning until sunset just to listen to Xie Feiyan's song, shed a few lines of pure tears, and wash my heart away.
Compared with the latter two who take eccentric swordsmanship, Aunt Gongsun and Bai Yunzhi pursue the traditional way of being upright and peaceful. Especially Aunt Gongsun, who dances with a sword that "comes like thunder and goes like wind."
.There were rumors that Zhang Xu created the unique Kuangcao after watching Gongsun's sword dance, and it eventually became one of the four great masterpieces.
As a top idler in the capital, Wang Xun naturally knew the name of Aunt Gongsun, but he didn't spend much time on singing and dancing. Even if he went out to have fun, he was mostly bored in Bai Xingzhi's room and had no time.
He Gu. There is an ancient saying, "Those who look at the sea find it difficult to be water, and those who swim in the gates of saints find it difficult to speak." Perhaps this is the truth. (Note 3)
After everyone had finished the ceremony, Bai Yuzhi gently smoothed the wrinkles on Wang Xun's clothes and asked in a low voice: "What have Erlang been busy with these two days? Why did he run to the Yamenmen so early in the morning? I asked Qin
Brothers, they kept mumbling and refused to elaborate!"
"Zida is in some trouble!" With outsiders in front of him, it is not convenient for Wang Xun to reveal too much. Especially in front of "everyone" like Gongsun Lan who has been in and out of the palace and has contacts with many concubines, he is even more silent.
.
Bai Yongzhi was raised by a bustard mother since she was a child. Observing words and expressions was almost a compulsory lesson from childhood. When she realized that Wang Xun seemed to have some difficulties in being humane, she immediately smiled and said softly: "Since Erlang is fine, I'm relieved.
The Qin brothers are looking for you everywhere. If you are free, please meet them today! Sister Gongsun and I will leave first, and the two brothers. The younger sister will serve tea to the two brothers at Jinhua Tower the next day.
Wash off the dust!”
"There's no need to wait for another day. Today at noon, I invited Li Bai, Gao Shi and others to have a drink at Linfeng Tower. It would be great if Gongsun and Bai Xing agreed to honor them!" Lei Wanchun grinned, and there was something wrong.
Here comes a sentence.
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xun's expression changed greatly. Since he conquered a bunch of disciples named Ashina, Hu Feng, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was very victorious. It is normal for young talents to gather together to drink and invite a few singers to cheer up.
Even if someone gets drunk during the dinner and rolls around with the singer after drinking, everyone will treat it as a romantic affair and laugh it off. No one will be full and have sex with a man and a woman.
It's involved. But how can these two women in front of me be regarded as ordinary singers and dancers? Not to mention that Bai Yuzhi is some kind of confidante of Wang Xun, she may be the younger brother and sister of everyone. That Gongsun Aunt, she got married back then.
His Majesty the Emperor appreciates something that ordinary princes and nobles may not be able to invite. How can he be willing to dance with a sword for a few scholars who have no power or position?
Unexpectedly, Aunt Gongsun and Bai Yunzhi did not take offense to Lei Wanchun's words at all. They looked at each other and smiled. This smile immediately attracted countless passers-by to stop and pay attention, and even the morning sun in the sky felt dark.
Go down.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, I saw Mrs. Gongsun walking slowly for a few steps and gathering her clothes again, "Since Lei Daxia has an appointment, how can we dare to spoil the fun. However, we need to wrap our heads around a lot. We need Li Banxian, Secretary Gao, and Xiao Zhang Tanhua to each present a poem."
Thank you. As for Lei Daxia and Wang Xiaohou, just think about the appropriate gifts!" (Note 4)
"Make it, make it!" Regardless of whether Li Bai and others were present, Lei Wanchun took care of everything. "If anyone dares not to write, I will pour him a wine jar. Although Lei is not good at writing or martial arts, he has such a drinking capacity.
, but it never loses to others!"
Aunt Gongsun smiled again, nodded, turned around and left with Bai Yuzhi. It wasn't until both the man and the carriage disappeared at the corner of the street that someone among the bystanders suddenly came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "Oh, I am here today."
I saw Aunt Gongsun. Go home and practice calligraphy quickly. If anyone has extra brushes at home, please lend me one first!"
Hearing this, all the passers-by laughed. No one had time to pay attention to the background of the three men who just spoke to Aunt Gongsun.
After such an adventure, the depression in Wang Xun's and others' hearts dissipated a lot. When no one was paying attention, they secretly squeezed out of the crowd and jumped on their mounts.
On the way to the cockfighting ring, Zhang Xun blamed Lei Wanchun for being reckless and should not have casually invited the two strange women. But Lei Wanchun shook his head and said some nonsense with a smile, "Since they are both
Naturally, we cannot treat such a strange woman with worldly courtesy. Besides, I just heard Brother Wang lament that the capital city is deep in water, and even the Qin family cannot afford to offend Brother Yuwen. Since everyone, Gongsun and others, often come in and out of the palace, if we have to do something in the future,
If you file a complaint, you will inevitably have to ask her for help! So, it is better to become familiar with her as soon as possible!"
Note 1: Head of line. An ancient honorific title for a singer or busker. It is the leader of a certain line.
Note 2: Lei Haiqing, a real person in history, was a descendant of Liyuan. After the fall of Chang'an, he refused to play the pipa for An Lushan and was executed by An Lushan's chariot.
Note 2: It comes from "Mencius", and it is meant to be ridiculing here.
Note 4: Tie-tou, a thank-you gift given to singing girls. Gao Shi once served as Secretary-General under Ge Shuhan. He was not yet developed at the time, so he was honored as Secretary Gao. In the future, he became a Jiedushi envoy and a regular attendant on Sanqi.
